Right now I have 943 and Mini Pika in the post. Wanted to buy 943 for a couple of years now: but always had something else more urgent or limited I had to buy. I guess 525 and Bedlam will be the next purchase I guess: each of them is very long overdue too. Or it will be 581 - we will see, I have not decided yet. It will take a few months I hope, it could be even half a year: if I only can hold it out for so long!

I'd say so. Since Benchmade owns Lone Wolf, and while spare parts are limited, they will honor the warranty under LifeSharp and Repair as if these were their products all along. That's a great deal, the older LW knives are prizes and are getting hard to find.

hehe, if you dont mind combo edge you can still pick up one for about $160 shipped over at knifeworks where you got the ritter from, other that than almost all of the dealers have sold out on them. I think the plain edge version has basically disappeared as it is no where to be found on any dealer's websites. As for the ritter, im sure you will love it!

had my local gun shop that sells benchmades order me a 943. he gave me a great price, so i had him order it. he said it'll take 10 days to arrive. it's been 12 days and i'm kicking myself for not just paying the extra coin, ordering it myself, and having it in two days from one of thousands of sites that would have had it to my doorstep on time. uggggghhhh so frustrating waiting for something that you've wanted for so long!

however, i'm sitting here waiting for the mailman who's supposed to bring me another blade today that should make me feel better about this whole waiting situation =)

I bought a scale slide DA auto in Mexico then years later found out it was a rip off of the Lone Wolf design. Does that count?

Um, I think you know the answer to that one Sir! But on a side note, Benchmade does receive a ton of copies/fakes every year for servicing, much to the disappointment of those not knowing...and to the frustration of thems that do. What they do with them I can only imagine.
